Winning Bracket by Annabeth Albert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
i first read this book as part of the campus cravings anthology and absolutely loved it! i was so excited to see an addition to the story!!
ollie and edwin are opposites. ollie is the life of the party, take the bull by the horns, let’s do this kinda guy. edwin is not. at all. he’s the studious, everything can be figured out with a formula, let’s follow the rules kinda guy. ollie is the yin to edwin’s yang. ollie is pretty in your face about relationships and edwin is pretty shy. they of course both secretly yearn for each other while driving each other crazy with their opposite personalities. their banter is really great and they are absolutely perfect together!
the additional epilogue/wedding story is so cute! i absolutely loved all of this!!

score the ultimate goal.

The Eloquent Jock by Cassandra Carr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
i first read this in the campus cravings anthology and really liked it! i love the additional scene added for the stand alone version.
brendan and scott meet when brendan becomes scott’s TA. they are immediately attracted to each other which could lead to an uncomfortable situation. brendan has never done anything with his sexuality – even though he knows he likes guys, not girls – primarily because he is on the hockey team and isn’t sure how his teammates would handle it. i love his nickname – the eloquent jock – and i love that he is into literature just as much as he is hockey. he is really a sweet, tough man. scott is older and has experience with other men so he is the perfect person to give brendan advice – albeit somewhat selfish on his part since he wants brendan. they balance each other pretty well and are quite ‘cute’ together (even though they don’t like that description).
there were several issues tackled in this story – coming out (secondarily as a jock), the teacher/student relationship (including the age gap) and charting a first relationship. all of which were handled nicely by ms. carr.
